Drivers seeking a versatile, engaging, and sophisticated compact SUV should turn their attention to the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander. Available now at Birmingham Mitsubishi, this family-friendly vehicle packs a wealth of amenities into a highly capable package. Read on to learn more about it and how our Finance Department can help you secure an affordable lease!

Performance

The 2026 Outlander features a completely refreshed powertrain, using a standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder mild-hybrid engine that produces a spirited 174 horsepower and 206 lb.-ft. of torque. That output is managed smoothly by a standard Continuously Variable Transmission. This setup is combined with standard regenerative braking technology to optimize efficiency, resulting in up to a 26/31/28 MPG city/hwy/combined1 EPA-estimated fuel economy rating. To make the gas tank last even longer, toggle the standard Drive Mode Selector over to the Eco setting. It also has standard Eco, Snow, Tarmac, Gravel, and Normal options that allow the SUV to adapt to varying conditions with ease. When rain disrupts your I-65 travels, the available S-AWC2 system provides enhanced traction so that you can keep driving with confidence.

Interior

Inside the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander, you’ll find room for up to seven passengers and three rows of seating. Its cargo capacity is generous too, with up to 64.3 cu. ft. of volume3 once the second and third rows are folded down. The driver’s seat is a comfortable command center for your commutes around Birmingham, providing standard power lumbar support to help minimize backaches. When the weather around the city gets warm, you won’t need to debate with your co-driver about the ideal temperature settings. That’s because the standard dual-zone automatic climate control system allows both of you to pick your own individual preference. The cabin also looks and feels luxurious, thanks to available features such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and synthetic leather suede seating surfaces.

Leasing

If you want to experience the premium features of the Outlander but would rather avoid a long-term auto loan, consider leasing one instead. These short-term agreements let you drive the SUV for a set period, typically ranging from 24 to 48 months, before you need to return it. Since you won’t get permanent ownership, you’ll enjoy substantially lower monthly payments compared to purchasing the same model. The contract will also include an annual mileage allowance that usually falls between 10,000 and 15,000 miles, with the tighter limit resulting in even lower fees. This makes it an ideal way for drivers who make fewer outings to spots such as Avondale Park to fit a higher trim level into the same budget. If this sounds like the right fit for you, don’t hesitate to contact us to learn more!

2. Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) adds Active Yaw Control (AYC) to realize the AWC concept at a very high level. While this Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control System manages the driving forces and braking forces of the four wheels to help realize vehicle behavior that is faithful to the operation by the driver under a variety of driving conditions, it is not a substitute for careful driving. S-AWC cannot prevent collisions or loss of traction in all conditions. Exercise caution so your full attention is given to vehicle operation in all road conditions.
